Happy New Year (Lunar New Year of course)!
@enlightenme3 is still traveling, so I'm posting this month's challenge again.
😀 Welcome all new first timers to this challenge and "Hello again" to those returning for another month, another year, another round. 😀
I joined MFP in February 2018. I had been trying on and off to lose some extra weight. MFP gave me the tools I needed to lose 30 pounds, and I have tried to keep it off since then. I've mostly been successful, but there for sure have been times when I slid back. Only continued vigilance will work to be successful, and fortunately that's possible! It can be nice to have short- and medium-term goal to break down a larger goal into more manageable chunks. So a monthly challenge with a weekly check-in is GREAT. I've been contributing to this challenge for several years, and with @enlightenme3 temporarily away, I'll try to keep it running.
Pick your own goal, check in once per week, and at the very end of the month. Let's keep encouraging each other & staying focused on our individual goals.
You can change the dates to suit you, but try to keep it weekly as it shows off the weekly progress better😀. I'm setting this month up for Saturday check-in. Do what works best for YOU.
Pick whatever unit suits you -- pounds, kilograms, stones, or even Newtons.
Feel free to copy & paste the chart:

March 1:
For those unsure how to do your weekly weight input:
When you want to do your weekly update do a search for your original post, copy and paste as a new post in the add post box then you can edit in your new weekly weight. A lot of people also maintain their post in a notes application on their device and just cut and paste into a new post.
It’s not a race go at your on pace, imagine where you could be in 6 months time!😀
Best of luck to everyone - have fun! 😀😀
Remember to bookmark⭐️ this group- makes it easier to find 😀

I'm not sure if this is the same group/challenge that I participated in in January but here I am. The last challenge helped me loose 5.4lbs in January so I'm excited to be at that in February! I'm going to add more strength training and continuing tracking calories "in" and intermittent fasting 8/16 with 2 days only half allowed calories.

Hey! I’m Victoria. Originally joined back in 2010 or 2011. Lost 40lbs at the time and kept it off until the end of 2016 when I had another baby…now I’m working to get closer to where I’d been.

Hi Everyone, hope you are well! My name is Ekaterina
Thank you for creating the challenge, I haven't participated in one of those for a while and I really look forward doing it and see everyone achieve their goals. We are taking action and this already put us a step closer to our goals!
I'm just over 3 months postpartum and have returned to the gym just before Christmas. Now that I have eased my way back I really wish to be accountable. I'm back at my pre pregnancy weight and looking to rebuild my habit of training. Seeing the scale going down slowly will be added bonus.

January flew by and I pretty much maintained my wt. I know I need to crank up the exercise because that's the area I'm lacking. It wasn't that long ago all my entries were in the 260's so I'm feeling pretty good about my progress. Have a great month everyone and lets drop some LBS.

Hello! I joined MFP in 2015, but stopped using the app years ago after an update made it impossible to use. I quit working out 3 months ago after breaking my hand during an MMA match, and gained some excess fat by eating my feels every night. 😅
Physical therapy is almost done, and I’m ready to get back into fighting shape again.

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.
02/01-191.8-(Trend Weight: 192.3)- My scale weight is up a bit after a very late night (2 AM) meal but my trend weight continues to go down. I’m glad it has faith in me as it is aligning with my faith in myself. A small overnight blip that should flush away rather quickly after the high-sodium soup. I have zero intention of chasing my own tail this round! Let’s go!

Thank you, @mtaratoot !
I'm Chris - 74 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
My husband and I are retired.
I see my trainer for 60 mins three days a week and try to walk the other four days. The walking doesn't always work out since we have our Grandson every morning. He's 2 years old and a pistol!!

Hi, I'm a newbie here. I'm a 62yr old female. Since menopause I've let 35lbs creep back on! They HAVE GOTTA GO! I just joined WW but I'm not sure if I'll stay with it. I joined the least expensive plan which is a mobile app. I'm going to give it a chance, but I feel disconnected community wise. Not a fan of using my phone for the community aspect. I have had great success losing weight and keeping it off by counting calories and activity over the years with the now defunked Sparkpeople. I'm going to try to do both. Anyway, I hope I can lend support and positivity here!
Good Luck everyone!

02/02-192.4-(Trend Weight: 192.3)- Yesterday: IF successful. Disciplined lunch. Disciplined dinner. Too many “approved” snacks. I can’t seem to fill a craving at night. If I can just push through a night or two I would be allright. Humph….. up 0.6 overnight and not happy. It almost feels like self-sabotage everytime I feel like I’m getting close to the 180’s. Time to knock down the walls and push through any barriers. I’m tired of being spineless. I need my Warrior self back!

I'm excited to see what I can achieve this month. This is only the 2nd Challenge I've done so I feel like the loss is achievable even if it's a lot. I lost 7.9kg/17.4lb last month! I will try to do a 7 day daily weight avg every week.3 -
Hey everyone!
I put on a bit of weight over the Christmas period, but my weight continually fluctuates between around 145 lbs to what I am now... 152 lbs. I am now at my 'Well, I need to address this now, before I become really uncomfortable with myself' stage. I did this challenge a couple of years ago and deadlines are motivating for me!
I will lose a decent amount of water weight at first so my goal reflects the anticipated water weight loss + fat loss.

I jacked up my knee and I am having foot surgery this month. No exercise for me at all! I am hoping this challenge will keep me on track!2 -
Hi, my name is Mags. I'm 67 years old and feel like I've been overweight for 95% of my life, though when I look at the old pictures of me, I think I was crazy then! I looked fine. However, I'm only 5'4" and I didn't need to weigh as much as I did.
6.5 years ago, I was up to 187 and I suffered from plantar fasciitis, HBP, acid reflux, low self esteem, and when my doctor took a second look at my blood sugar after one annual check-up, I asked myself wtf I was doing! Waiting to have a stroke?
I started on the Keto diet that day and used MFP to help keep track of my calories and carbs. I lost 30 lbs in the first 3 months. Then, things slowed down and over the next 9 months I lost another 17 pounds. I felt so great, though I did have a little bit of worrisome hair loss, that has mostly recovered. I think 30 lbs in three months was too fast and my body reacted. I started gaining it back about a year later and slowly but surely made it all the way back up to 175, just eating and drinking everything I wanted.
So here I am again. I started on keto and MFP on New Year's Day and have lost 15 lbs. It's February 3 and I want to lose 5 lbs a month for the next 4 months. I like keto because I am otherwise hungry all the time. Sometimes on Keto, I have to make myself eat.
My goal is to slow down the weight loss now, to not more than 5 lbs per month, but to get back to about 140 by summer! Maybe a challenge will help me.

Giving up wine will help me a lot...meeting my girls at the gym now on Saturday's for strength training. Walk my dogs 3 miles everyday. If I can stick to my calories I know I can do this...I've done it before. I actually got up to 260 so I've already lost 25lbs. This will help me be accountable. I weigh myself on Saturday mornings now since that's when my group meets. I'm really hoping to report a loss!2
